The 2019–20 Bristol City W.F.C. season was the club's fourth season under the Bristol City affiliation and the organisation's 21st overall season in existence. It was their third consecutive full season in the FA Women's Super League following promotion to the 2017 Spring Season. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also competed in two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

On 13 March 2020, in line with the FA's response to the coronavirus pandemic, it was announced the season was temporarily suspended until at least 3 April 2020.[1][2] After further postponements, the season was ultimately ended prematurely on 25 May 2020 with immediate effect.[3] Bristol City sat in 10th at the time and retained their position on sporting merit after The FA Board's decision to award places on a points-per-game basis.[4][5]
